In England the insect that we call a Daddy Longlegs is a type of crane fly - always takes me aback when different nations use the same words for different things! This is a super composition of an unusual insect (certainly one I have never seen before); the blue background acts as a good foil for the main subject, particularly with the interesting lighting on its legs and on the top of the seed head. It is a shame that you haven't been able to reflect a bit more light on to the subject, as it is a little dark on my monitor (admitedly uncalibrated).
Back to bump to 8.

Looks like you got some of that wonderful evening sun for this. A great image.

Great composition. Love the clarity and sharpness. Colors look great. DOF is right on. Nice work.

Beautiful bokeh in this image. Lighting captured the translucense (sp)of the spiders legs well.

I have to look twice to see the spider. Good captured and a nice bokeh
